Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 419: Infection

Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Infection

A hint of heartache flashed across Shen Wenchen’s face as he carefully asked,

"Nannan, what’s wrong?"

"I don’t know." Nanzhi shook her head, looked at Shen Wenchen, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Nannan..."

A touch of helplessness entered Shen Wenchen’s tone as he simply held her in his arms.

"I don’t think I’m cut out for business."

Nanzhi fell silent for a moment before voicing the thoughts in her heart.

She didn’t have the talent for it.

She couldn’t be the true protagonist; she couldn’t compete with Su Tao.

Extremely intense negative emotions were almost crushing her.

"Nannan, what’s wrong?" Shen Wenchen frowned, looking at the woman in his arms.

"You’ve been running Sanwei House really well, why are you thinking like this?"

Nanzhi didn’t answer, she merely buried her head in his chest, silently feeling his heartbeat.

Without getting a reply, a hint of worry crossed Shen Wenchen’s face as he lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, silently accompanying her.

Feeling the warmth emanating from his chest, Shen Wenchen felt a pang of heartache, but he didn’t say any more.

Nannan demanded too much of herself.

Kyoto—

Everyone in Xia Country knew that Kyoto was prosperous. But even though she had prepared herself mentally, when the carriage crossed the city gate, Shen Miaomiao still felt a thrill in her heart.

They had arrived.

"Miaomiao." The twelfth prince held her hand and gently called her by her name, just once.

The young prince’s palm was warm and large and squeezed her cold little hand tightly.

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Shen Miaomiao finally smiled.

She was not alone; she still had her father and mother, and also, the twelfth prince.

"Let’s go home."

The prince’s words seemed to have a magical power that immediately calmed the girl’s anxious heart.

"Okay."

That was going to be her future home.

Nowadays, Su Tao had made quite a name for herself in Kyoto. With the help of the system and Lu Fengyun’s endorsement, she was known even to the ladies in the palace.

Lu Fengyun was well-liked by the royal family, and he had been promoted to the court, which made him a favorite in front of the royals.

"Su Tao, look, I told you, since heaven arranged for us to come to this place, we must make something of ourselves. "

Lu Fengyun, just came out of the palace, was currently enthusiastically chatting with Su Tao.

If he were still in the modern world, he could only be a diligent worker in a small company. But now, he had become a high-ranking official and even his so-called father, had to smile when he saw him now.

He had never imagined that he could achieve such success.

"Yeah." Naturally, Su Tao chose to start from skincare products for women.

Daughters of noble families were everywhere in Kyoto, and in this place, a woman’s appearance and intelligence were the most important things. If they were not talented enough, they certainly would put more effort into their looks.

Her business was naturally doing well.

With the system and the space bracelet as two golden fingers, she had a good mix among the noble girls.

Now that Lu Fengyun’s plan was being implemented step by step, and she had reached a height that she could not reach in her previous life, all of this should have been exciting.

But looking at the bustling crowd downstairs, Su Tao felt like something was missing in her heart.

The carriage was slowly moving along the streets, and the stalls on both sides were filled with a wide variety of goods, which dazzled the Shen family.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Aunt Guihua looked out at the scene with curiosity in her eyes.

The journey of more than a month had worn her out.

After all, she was getting on in years, and after enduring so much hardship in the past, her health had greatly deteriorated.

Shen finally poured a cup of tea for his wife and began, "Now that we are in the Capital City, we can’t be like we were before.

We might not be able to support Miaomiao, but we cannot lose face for her."

Shen looked at the prosperity outside the window, his expression somewhat complex.

He had spent his whole life laboring in the fields, only to have his son become a deadbeat, and now he had to rely on his daughter for his old age.

Now that his daughter’s in-laws were officials, they could not provide any support, but instead they might become a burden to her.

"Of course, I know."

Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes and was somewhat speechless at her husband.

Although she was older, she was not senile.

Aunt Guihua looked out of the window, but her hand clutched the sachet embroidered with the word "Peace" even tighter.

She would never forget the kindness of Lin’s family to her.

Before leaving, Nanzhi gave Miaomiao six hundred taels of silver, and also slipped something into her bag.

On the journey, she found a fifty-tael silver note in her small bundle.

In addition to the small sachet in her hand, which contained two golden leaves.

All of these were signs of their kindness to her family.

She just hoped that she would be able to see them at least once more in her life.

Her gaze drifted off into the distance as she thought about it.

The carriage travelled smoothly, and Shen Miaomiao’s heart, which had just calmed down, started to get nervous again.

This was her first time meeting the twelfth prince’s family, and she was a bit worried.

Worried that they would look down on her.

Seeing his lover in such a state, the twelfth prince also felt a bit heartbroken and could only comfort her by gently patting the back of her hand.

"It’ll be about two more hours before we arrive home. You don’t have to be afraid. Although father looks a bit stern, he’s actually a good man.

I’ve talked about you with him, and he spoke highly of you. So, don’t be too nervous.

There are no other elders at home, only an auntie. But she spends most of her time in the prayer hall and doesn’t come out much."

"Okay."

Shen Miaomiao nodded, constantly psyching herself up in her mind, afraid that she would embarrass herself because of her nervousness.

Lu Fengyun was continuously talking about what he had seen and heard these days. Beside occasionally nodding in response, Su Tao spent most of her time resting her chin on her hand and staring out at the street.

It wasn’t until several carriages passed by, when a gust of wind lifted the curtain of one of them, that Su Tao’s gaze shifted.

Was that... Shen Miaomiao?

Why has she come to Kyoto?

Su Tao craned her neck, her gaze fixed on the carriage.

The girl inside was neatly dressed. Though she wasn’t extravagant, she was presentable. Just one glance made it clear that she was far from the little girl she had been back in Lihua Village.

Remembering the innocent and kind-hearted young girl in Lihua Village, Su Tao felt a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

She felt a bit envious, envious that Lin Nanzhi could have such a good friend. Whenever she thought about the time Shen Miaomiao came to her in Yan City after hearing rumors, Su Tao just felt a heaviness in her heart.

It seemed that she hadn’t had a real friend since her last life.

Now she had wealth and status and many admirers.

But in the three years after arriving in this world, she had not had a single friend.

"Su Tao, do you have any other ideas?" Lu Fengyun’s eyes were burning with ambition, his gaze filled with fanaticism.

Looking at the young man who was being corrupted by power, Su Tao suppressed her emotions, looking at him calmly.

"What do you want?"
